Snapshots Robotic vision enhances auto seam sealing EFTEC Engineering (Markdorf, Germany) has developed an automation solution for Volkswagen, Skoda Auto, and Tata Motors that streamlines the robotic application of seam sealant to join the body and roof of automobiles. NIR vision reveals lymphatic system The director of the new Center for Molecular Imaging at The University of Texas Health Science Center (Houston, TX, USA) is using near-infrared vision technology to understand the lymphatic system. Camera tests EL in solar cells Thin-film solar cells offer economical advantages by enabling lightweight and flexible modules. Behavior subtraction applied to video analytics The rapid proliferation of surveillance cameras makes it increasingly difficult to have humans assist in monitoring. Technology Trends IMAGE PROCESSING - Software overcomes display artifacts in digital image transfer Camera-to-computer interfaces such as USB, Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, and FireWire are used in a number of machine-vision applications to transfer digital images to a host computer for processing and display. SECURITY AND SURVEILLANCE - Detection systems target scene awareness applications Several different methods currently exist to perform effective surveillance across a wide field of view (FOV). IMAGE CAPTURE - Sorbent eliminates condensation from cameras Sensors, imaging devices, and cameras that must operate under outdoor or other adverse conditions are subject to diminished performance or malfunction due to condensation. IMAGE TRANSFER - Camera Link gets a ‘Lite’ interface “Same great interface but a less bulky connector” would be the slogan for the latest proposed Camera Link standard developed by the Japan Industrial Imaging Association. New Products Vision + Automation Products The CV-5000 vision system offers ultrahigh-speed image processing for production lines. My View Something old, something new Legacy journalists and legacy machine-vision components are likely to coexist with the latest and greatest—at least until new standards emerge	Right1 Right2 Right
